## Description

This is a little helper to find your Raspberry Pi in a DHCP network.

## Installation
**You need to run all these commands on your Rasberry Pi.**

#### 1. Run the installer
```bash
$ wget http://bit.ly/pi-finder_installer -O - | sudo bash
```

##### Run this command only if the first failed!
If you haven't `wget` installed, try the curl command:
```bash
$ curl -fsSL http://bit.ly/pi-finder_installer | sudo bash
```

#### 2. Configure
Open the configuration file `config.js`...
```bash
$ sudo nano $(npm config get prefix)/lib/node_modules/pi-finder/config.js
# The real path could be /usr/lib/node_modules/pi-finder/config.js or /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pi-finder/config.js
```

...and change the name from `My Awesome Pi` to a name you'll recognise.
```javascript
module.exports = {
	// ...
	name: "Manuel's Pi",
	// ...
}
```

#### 3. Start Pi Finder
Add the pi finder to the start up
```bash
$ sudo service pi-finder start
```

#### 4. Reboot (optional)
To test the configuration, restart your Pi and check the [Pi Finder](https://pi-finder.xyz)!
```bash
$ sudo reboot
